1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Management of the axilla in early stage breast cancer has shifted toward less invasive approaches as evidence demonstrates equivalent oncologic outcomes with reduced morbidity. In older women with biologically favorable disease, the value of axillary staging has been increasingly questioned. This review outlines the evolution of axillary surgery from axillary lymph node dissection to sentinel lymph node biopsy and subsequent omission strategies. We synthesize the available evidence presented defining when omission of sentinel lymph node biopsy is safe and how it can be implemented in practice.
